In Ricky Liu’s clever PuzzleScript game, a giant tentacle (the purple variety) has wrapped itself around you and refuses to let you go. The only way to escape is to burn the tentacle using fire, but you’ll also have to be careful not to get in direct contact with the flames.

The tentacle can extend for a really long distance, and will only bend if it has to (an example of this would be to get around a small block or wall). Players have to figure out how to manipulate the tentacle until some part of it can be in touch with the fire. Some of the latter levels can be rather tricky to solve, and all things considered it’s pretty amazing work for a game that was coded in just one day.
Aaaah! I’m Being Attacked by a Giant Tentacle! is available to play here.
